Doesn't look like he isnt doing anything
russias response article
Still see nothing but words on twitter.
General Mattis though has stated publicly, "this wave of strikes are over."
So Putin sat on his hands and did nothing, the moment has passed his rhetoric has gone down in history as a great big nothing burger.

According to the Russians, the US, France and the UK have launched over 100 cruise and air-to-surface missiles on Syria and most of them were intercepted by the Syrian Air Defense. “None of cruise missiles launched by the US and its allies did not enter the zone of responsibility of the Russian air defenses, covering objects in Tartus [naval facility] and Hmeymim [airbase located in the Latakia province],” the defense ministry announced. The Russian military added that two US warships had carried out the attack from the Red Sea, as well as tactical aviation over the Mediterranean Sea and B-1B bombers from al-Tanf area had been involved.

None of the missiles that were launched by the US and its allies entered Russian air defense zones that protect facilities in Tartus and Khmeimim, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
And for the record Russia said
"If any russian military personal or bases are targeted there would ve retaliation.
No Russians targeted
Ni Russians hurt
No damage to any Russian military base.
So with this ans no missles entering their zone.... seems to me he has no reason to retaliate...
Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

Which makes one wonder.
Will Putin retaliate for not only being made a fool of, but also for being outright ignored in his warnings?
The question after that is: How and in what capacity?
Will it be the sinking of a ship or all-out declaration of war?
It's too late, the missiles got through, he didn't do what he said by knocking them out of the sky. His persona is gone.
